short answer because I am about to sit down and practice guitar I will add to this later… I bought 1000 shares this morning at 47.72, ran up fairly quickly so I sold it at 48.78 45 minutes later at about 10:30 AM. Re-answered the trade in the afternoon had a quick profit but wasn’t quick enough so I ended up selling it and making a few pennies not enough to even worth mention. The one thing I really try hard to do is not let green trades Turn into red trades. Like I said I’ll add some thoughts to this later. Basically thoughts on why I’m an idiot
Patience. The question remains, e.g. for the next three months, What can you tell us about your intent going FORWARD concerning the SQQQ? Are you good with trading SQQQ/SOXL on a DAILY bar chart for 2 to 10 day holds? Yes or No
I think like anything else, it’s a trading vehicle, that I might use from time to time. But it’s not something I want to hold for a month or more, as my understanding is that it doesn’t track well over long periods of time due to the compounding effect. I haven’t looked at a chart comparison with QQQ To verify that is the case, but I will. Over longer periods of time I might use PSQ, since there is no leverage, so no tracking issues. I’m really using it just to protect my long positions, until the market trend changes.
2-10 day holds maybe, not much longer. If I had to say yes or no though, I’d say no, it’s just not that comfortable for me, I prefer in and out on a leveraged investment like that, and in and out is something I’m looking to do less of not more of.
I am trying to trade less, sometimes I feel like something is so obvious to me, like SQQQ this morning with QQQ about to break down, that I can’t resist. Thus the “why I’m an idiot” comment.
I can’t say because the market has to tell me. If the market holds around these levels (QQQ 290-300), then I’ll probably stay away from SQQQ, if it breaks down from here, all bets back on
For the market to talk to you, you will have to apply some time to observation. That's all there is to it. That's your situation same as the rest of us. When you look forward concerning your intend having to do with proiritizing your Time, ?Do you mind sitting down to Look things over on a daily basis?
